I wanted Glass to stay too. That's not to say he wasn't making mistakes - he didn't have the players to play how he wanted, however you have to adapt when that's the case. I also think he gave Scott Brown too much power - when Brown was fit, he played, and he played in central midfield and roamed where he wanted because he was Scott Brown, and Glass was never gonna reign in his mate. However, he was trying to play possession football, he was pretty attacking and aggressive against the Old Firm, his substitutions generally worked well which showed he was reading the game well, and given a few transfer windows he could have shaped the squad nicely, while Scott Brown naturally would have retired into the dugout. Since then Goodwin and Robson have been a downgrade, and we're back to where we were when we decided McInnes had to go. Just bored shitless with the same old guff every week.

Yeh I think the board, understandably, felt that Agnew coming in was the big help their inexperienced manager needed. I don't really criticise the board much here. They gave him three months in an interim role, Robson smashed it out of the park. At the Hearts game (probably the best performance under Robson) fans were chanting his name, making it clear to the board who they wanted. The transfer funds were made available. We tried to sign all the successes of last season - Shinnie, Clarkson, MacDonald, Scales and Pollock. We got three out of five. They maybe always had the mind to give him to January, which was fair enough too. But we've won five league games, which is relegation form. It's not a small blip, it's been the whole season. The run to the cup final was as unimpressive as I can ever remember, and the final performance itself was poor too. Europe - we did okay, but at the same time I don't remember a top performance there either. We were shite for long spells home and away v Helsinki and blew a lead v PAOK. The tactics are woeful. The subs have little thought behind them. The style of play is hard viewing. The long ball football is just lazy, like it's too much hard work to work on a more effective style. The team selections seem very much like he's just picking his mates. He was worth a shot. Coaching experience, experienced assistant, and I actually still believe he's a better manager than Goodwin. But it's time now for a change.

In short: "We need to win games. I know that, the players know that."

Disgraceful start to this game. Them missing the penalty doesn't change that.

I answered this on the other thread. Edinburgh v Glasgow in the rugby.

Shame, was just about to hit form.

And why do you need to know my position? I'm here like everyone - a fan simply posting about their club. You know fine well it's more difficult for me to answer certain questions. Not because I'm scared of the old firm, but because I'd rather avoid being asked to go on another impartiality training course.

I think the both of us should just leave the conversation here.

Yes, I gathered that. For the avoidance of any doubt, I'm embarrassed for you. Grow up.

Yes, most Saturdays we'll have an online commentary. If you go to the live text you'll see our offerings on it. It's not always football though. This Saturday is the Edinburgh/Glasgow rugby match.

I don't know what examples you're waiting for. Your theory is that I'm scared of Rangers, which is ridiculous. Going by that same theory you must be scared of Celtic. For what it's worth I don't think you're scared of Celtic, I just think you have a really silly theory.

I don't think they normally advertise where the show will be presented from, but I can assure you the show was to be hosted at Pittodrie That is online only commentary, not on the radio, so I'm still factually correct.

I'm just using your own silly theory against you. If you think it's ridiculous then you've just understood my point.

Sportsound was actually due to be presented live from Pittodrie... Likewise, the Rangers game was never going to be on the radio. Reprisals from who? Only one half of the Old Firm (deliberate use) recognise it as the Old Firm derby. You can call it the Old Firm and still believe Rangers are a new club. In my case, you can call it the Old Firm and not give a toss about it because whether they're a new club or not doesn't change the league table or the Viaplay Cup final result.

Celtic refuse to call it the Old Firm derby. Does that mean you're brownosing Celtic?

Yes, I'm terrified of the reprisals of not calling them the Old Firm. Give over.

Motherwell running scared more like. No Miovski and Barron for the rearranged game as they'll both be playing for Celtic and Rangers (dis)respectively by then.

It's actually a 4-1-2-2-1 if you want to get really into it. Paying homage somewhat to Xabi Alonso's 5-2-2-1 / 3-4-3 at Bayer Leverkusen, but tweaked because we don't have Jeremie Frimpong, and because I demand Clarkson, Shinnie and Barron all play together. Merry Christmas.

It's a collective term used for the teams who play at Ibrox and Celtic Park. Whether you believe one of them is a new club or not, the above still stands.

Is it a theory if the Old Firm actually are interested in the two players?

Let's go 4-3-3 and go at them tonight.

Aye biggest issue seems to be travel but it's to calm down from 3pm ish. Game is on PPV for anyone that didn't know.

The pitch inspection was literally taking place at that point. I'd agree Dundee could have done more. Ie my dad lives in Dundee and said it had been raining all morning - get the covers on the pitch and start clearing water off the pitch if there's any on it. But the referee rocking up, giving a quick pitch inspection then calling it off without speaking to the managers is bizarre. Apparently it was just one of the goalmouths that was the concern - delay the start of the game and get it cleared. If that game is live on sky then it's being played, so when there's a will there's a way.

Aye the more news that comes out, the more appears it was the referee who is at fault here, not Dundee. We were told the referee was there at 12.30. It's now emerging he arrived between 1:40 and 1:50 and called the game off at 2pm. Serious questions to answer there. I'n not sure we can even count it as a break for the players because they will have travelled down for it. Probably had to bus it back up then do a bit of running at Cormack Park.
